We support organizations and business enterprises to assess Resource mobilization needs. Through needs assessments, we provide information resources that build capacity and facilitate local, national, and international efforts for resource mobilization. For each organization or business enterprise, the needs assessment survey is conducted by experts and helps in identification of urgent resource mobilization gaps and capacity needs, inform development of relevant knowledge on resource mobilization and clarify the primary target audience for capacity building. Furthermore, the needs assessment report will guide management of the organization/business enterprise on specific areas of resource mobilization that need to be strengthened like human resource development, strategic planning and compliance. The needs assessment report will include high-level information products for resource mobilization and fundraising such as an overview of national and international financing sources and trends for giving.

Resource Mobilization Desks

We support our partner organizations and business enterprises to create Resource Mobilization Desks (RMDs). We support organizations, companies and institutions that are interested in fundraising and resource mobilization to create a space that facilitate an enabling environment for raising a variety of resources from various funders and donors. Through, Resource Mobilization Desks, we work with our partner organizations to build comprehensive strategies for Resource Mobilization Success. Once we have created a resource mobilization desk for an organization/business enterprise, then we work with the partner organization/business enterprise to identify key organizational building blocks and define strategies for successful resource mobilization. After identifying organizational building blocks and defining strategies, we then train the Resource Mobilization Desk team members. By the end of the training, all RMD team members would have acquired the knowledge and skills to:

1. Define resources and identify different types of organizational resource needs;
2. Identify the range of potential resource opportunities;
3. Demonstrate introductory skills in at least two key resource mobilization areas, and
4. Develop initial appropriate and sustainable resource mobilization strategies for the organization.
